After the storm in NV. Did not find any pots of gold :(
I obviously have been having a lot of fun going through old images :)

Don't do much astro photography but I am intrigued by it. This was the evening before my pic posted just above. I destroyed a tire on the trail and had to get it replaced during a planned stop later in the day. Very very small rural town, very lucky to get the attention of the only shop in town that sold tires (it was closed), even luckier that he had something that would work as he mainly sold big-rig tires. We ended up getting out of town late and and looked for any spot to bed down and found one of the more memorable camps.

Beautiful shot! What did you use to capture it?

Canon 70D with a cheap Sigma 18-250 tele. I bought the lens for a trip to Germany in '14. I have been pleasantly surprised with it's performance but it is getting worn.

Yes! That is what it was. I had never seen one before. It actually moved pretty quick for what it was. This was one of those shots. I didn't realize I had caught the reflection until I got home and started going through them.
